Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.75 cups Warm water
- 6 ounces Vegan blue cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh rosemary
- 0.5 cup Crushed walnuts
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt.
Gradually add the warm water and mix with a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Gently deflate the dough and knead in the vegan blue cheese, ensuring it's evenly incorporated.
Add the chopped rosemary and crushed walnuts into the dough, kneading until well mixed.
Shape the dough into a rustic round loaf and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cover the loaf with a clean cloth and let it rest for another 20 minutes.
Before baking, brush the top with olive oil for a crisp crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
